The 'Cursed BBC Food Rice Video' refers to a 2019 BBC Food tutorial featuring chef Hersha Patel, which went viral in mid-2020 after comedian Nigel Ng, performing as his persona 'Uncle Roger,' posted a reaction video to it. The original segment sparked widespread disbelief and humor within the Asian community and among food enthusiasts for its unconventional methods—most notably draining cooked rice in a colander and rinsing it with cold water. The meme represents the ultimate culinary 'sin' and is typically used to mock people who fail at basic tasks or to express profound cultural disappointment. This viral moment helped propel Uncle Roger to internet stardom and remains a quintessential example of internet 'roast' culture surrounding food preparation.
